If you have ever tried to watch a YouTube video on your desktop or laptop, you probably figured out pretty quickly the sound from the speakers in your computer are just terrible! They usually sound incredibly tinny with no bass at all. Of course, that is to be expected from speakers that are usually smaller in size than a dime!
Most of us spend hours every day in front of our computer both for work and entertainment. Working can be a lot more fun if we have some good music playing in the background and obviously watching a movie or YouTube video is a lot better experience with great sound.
If your computer hangs out in the same area where you like to kick back and listen to music, adding a pair of decent speakers may be just the ticket for getting some good sound into your living space. With computer speakers, the connections are very easy as the speakers have the amplifier and switching built into the speaker. All you have to do is get sound from your computer to them and provide them with power and you are up and running.
There are over 1,000 models of computer speakers on the market today. Most of them are an upgrade from the tiny speakers in your computer, but we decided to focus on the ones that sound as good as speakers you would want to put in a home audio system.
To make the cut, these needed to have a very easy way to connect up to your computer and be simple to control. We felt like the speaker system needed to have a USB connection, which makes connecting them super simple. The USB connection also lets you turn up the speaker’s volume control then simply use the volume level on your computer to adjust the output level. All of the models we suggest have a USB DAC built-in for an easy connection.
They also needed to sound great with music and not tire us out if we had them playing for 4-6 hours continuously. We’ve found a lot of inexpensive speakers start to grate on our ears after 30 minutes or so due to some kind of distortion in their cheap speaker components. We wanted them to be able to fit pretty easily on a desk, although we made a couple of exceptions for some models that can really rock the house when you want them to!
Finally, we gave out bonus points if the speakers included Bluetooth so your friends could easily connect to them when they came over.

What I and many people likely want to know is how do they compare model to model on the issue of noise, I have the Original Kanto Yumi and they hiss even with all inputs disabled as the original DAC had issues (Kanto has told me they fixed the issue and even offered to exchange them past the warranty, mind you I am too lazy to mail them in). I am looking for clean sounding speakers and for some reason most reviews spend so much time on features they forget what really matters the nuances of sound like noise, USB is notorious for introducing line noise and DACs without proper filters will end up with tons of noise coming through the speakers from either the USB or the Wall power.
The HD3 are perfection with the volume knob an jack at the front
What’s with the garbage catcha on the links? Rather spammy.
Your Shirt collar disturbs me 😛
I understand that this is your video, however when a best list goes to the size and price of the M25 and R-41, the list should get bigger by mentioning other speakers such as Kanto YU4 and YU6. If you were to say that the YU6 for example aren’t desktop speakers then you would have to remove the M25 and R-41
I have a HSU sub on my computer.
I wish I had speakers to listen to the video.
Has this guy lost his hearing?
I’m still rocking the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 and I love them
For my gaming room i use logitech z906 speaker system but replace the front 3 speakers with B&W MT1 Speakers and 2 Boston Acoustics rear speakers ….looking for a 7.1 sound system that can hook up to my consoles
Dear Audio Advice, if i click your links I have to type in captcha. Instead i google them on amazon… Pls fix…
Just get some fuckin KRKs or something dude. Sure these are more universal "plug and play" but if you’re in the $300 price range for a pair of desktop speakers like these, you might as well get a pair that won’t crunch on you if you crank them up
So if I wanted to blow my neighbors up, in return for blowin’ me up….what should I buy ?
yeah, spending 200+ for a set of speakers that break up and get shitty when pushed? lol
Trash.
Can someone explain me a bit about the USB DAC of these speakers? I’m planning on buying a speaker and a dac (or a sound card with dac, I haven’t decided yet) to use with my PC. But these USB DAC settings got me confused here
My Klipsch R-41PM were on sale for $200 and rock. Small, 70 watts, USB input as well as optical, phono, 1/8", RCA and has sub out.
What are the little stands under the A2+ that you show at 3 minutes in?
Kef lsx?
I use a pair of Dynaudio Xeo 4 with a connect-box to my 2 computers and they are quite good.
Edifier 1700bt are perfect for me. 150$ only
Nice ! https://youtu.be/i4dPWIhFxTo
All around the world? Test the nubert A200Pro from Germany – but expensive with 700$ for two.
No 5.1 setups? 😔

Little disappointed vanatoo isnt in here

Where do they get their power from?
My rather cheap speaker dangles from my laptop by a cable. This is not ideal.
